What Happened
France and the UK convened approximately 30-40 countries in Paris on Friday to establish a multinational maritime force securing the Strait of Hormuz. Led by President Macron and PM Starmer, the initiative aims to restore free passage through the critical waterway once a ceasefire occurs. The strait remains blockaded since February 28, disrupting global oil supplies and affecting thousands of trapped seafarers worldwide.
